I can't help you with growing conditions for the Jade or the Ivy since I have never grown them myself. The pothos though I have. There are a lot of reasons that that leaf has turned yellow, the soil could be too wet, not enough light, or it is just old. The curl in the leaves you are seeing is normal, that is the way that pothos leaves grow in. The white thing in the last photo could be a root forming or it could be a mealiebug. If it is fuzzy than it is a bug. The pothos should be isolated from the other plants and just use rubbing alcohol on it. A couple of my pothos in the past have gotten mealies, but they were never that hard to get rid of. Use a cottonswap dipped in alcohol and coat the little (stuff) with it. If you see a lot of them on the plant there are more time effective solutions, like using an insecticidal soap.
Good luck with your new plants. Pothos really are a dream for an easy care houseplant... oh and they are supposed to help with air quality.

Ivie's do well in bright indirect light, watered well when getting close to drying, but not yet dried out.They are prone to spidermites, so keep a watch on that.

Jades like direct sun, although I have seen leaves burn if it's too much or given too much suddenly. Water well when dry.

Pothos do best in bright indirect light with a small amount of direct sun, or dapple light instead of low light. Water well when dry, or very close to it.
Seeing that you just bought your Pothos, the brown dry spots or ywlloeing on the leaves are probably reacting to the lower light levels, incorrect watering, or perhaps both.
With better light other then low, they tend to stay more bushier. Keeping them at a certain length also helps keep them more fuller looking.

Yeah, that looks like a little root growing.

Sorry folks, I'm pretty sure that's not a root on the Pothos. That is a mealy bug. Requires isolation from the rest of your plants (like in another room) as it's very contagious & could spread to your Jade.

Alcohol on q-tips & dab it at the white fuzz bit. If it darkens afterwards it's a mealy bug (I'm betting it is).

Pothos roots are long & slender, usually light colored or white. Their root nubs are dark, neither are fuzzy, so the white in that pic looking fuzzy is a mealy bug.

Can someone plz tell me whats wrong with the plant when it has lil brown rimmed "chew holes" all over the leaves? Its basically like something has been chewing random holes everywhere. Also i bought another pothos(ivy)plant the other day, and i dont know if i should repot it or not. I mean I think i should because it looks like its choking to death and it has all these crazy looking roots sticking off just about all the vines that have turned black and shriveled, and theres barely any dirt in the pot, just all these thick vines and roots that look like they'll bite me..What should I do???PLEASE HELP MEEEE!!!! I WOULD POST PICTURES BUT I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO DO THAT:(

Time to repot.

Trelease,

Also, pls. try a search on "How to Post Pictures", there's material there to help you. Also a Test Forum to try it on.

I'm sure we all share a similar excitement in discovering someone new to add to the list of those of us who gain, in our own individual ways, whatever it is we gain, from nurturing our plants. Welcome!

yes- WELCOME!! Loads of info and help here, look it up first, get what you can, then ask if it isn't what you need. I am ALWAYS asking and so far, nobody has complained.. least not to me-- lol.

Again- welcome

My pothos love light. Especially my marble queens. Id say start moving the plant closer to the window and watch how much you're watering (just to be on the safe side). Many plants that i come into contact with at a store other then a greenhouse have a tendency to be overwatered. With that white thing i'd do as pirate girl suggested and dab it with alcohol to see if it's a mealy bug. If it is, i'd definitely check the whole plant over and any plants that may be around it for signs of the same. I developed mealy bugs practically overnight and they are hell to get rid of! I wish you the best of luck with your new plants!

Im terrible at growing ivys so i cannot for the life of me give you any valuable advice. However Jades love sun. The brighter the better!

I am new here...I had a quick question....I have 3 pothos, my cousin and I were repotting them; she cut some of the roots off. My question (may be stupid) is with the roots she cut can a plant grow from that or just throw them out? Also I would love for them to climb, how do I do that?

No, sorry Mrs,. G., these can't be grown from just roots (yes, those trimmed root bits should be discarded), one needs a bit of stem w/ at least one node (the knuckle-like looking joint from which leaves & or roots will grow).

I see you're new, welcome & just so you know for next time, it's best to start a new thread for a new question.

that is absolutely not a mealy bug. that is a nod that they grow so in nature as the stems climb on a tree or they climb along the ground they can take root to get more nutriment or cling to a tree to reach sunlight. if it was mealy bugs, they would be shorter and more spread out. trust me i have had mealy bugs before and they spread

Here is a link that might be useful: tinypic

Teengardener is correct except for the spelling of the word node.

My pathos of 25 years dying

We have moved in the past 6 months...they were fine...now they are loosing leaves

It looks like sunburn but it is not in direct sunlight

Lost a lot of leaves

!

urn but they are not in direct sun

What could it be?

Pm....You got off to a good start with plant selection. You just can not beat pothos.

John.....did the heat get your pothos ? Can't leave them in vehicles this time of year.

Mrsgnat...a pothos will attach itself to your wall and climb up if you let it. FOR REAL !
